3:03 am
service. his tenure at the justice department was defining. he supervised the prosecution of the 1995 oklahoma city bombing. >> we promised that we would find the perpetrators that we would bring them to justice and that we would do it in a way that honored the constitution. >> he says that's at the core of his believes. >> fidelity to the constitution and the law has been the cornerstone of my professional life. if the senate sees fit to confer to the position for which i have been nominated to day i promise to continue on that course. >> now, garland obviously does not bring diversity to the court and he would be another justice who went to law school at harvard or yale. but with a rough senate fight ahead, scott, the president said he was focused on qualifications. >> jan crawford at the court this evening. thank you.

to be over before it began. and here's margaret brennan. >> reporter: i simply ask republicans in the senate to give him a fair hearing. and then an up or down vote. if you don't, then it will not only be an abdication of the senate's constitutional duty, it will indicate a process for nominating and confirming judges that is beyond repair. >> let's let the american people decide. >> reporter: within minutes. republican majority leader mitch mcconnell said no, congress will wait until a newly elected president picks a supreme court justice. >> our view is this. give the people a voice in filling this vacancy. >> mcconnell pointed to then senator joe biden's recommendation to president bush back in 1992. >> once the political season is under way and it is, action on a supreme court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over. >> but the white house thinks the american public is on its

well the presidential election overshadows the supreme court battle. last night. republican front-runner donald trump won at least three more contests. the states in orange are trumps wins to date. blue, are ted cruz. two term governor. john kasich won his first only primary last night. his home state ohio. but apparently, the show-me state, missouri, didn't see enough last night. they cast 1.5 million votes. both trump and cruz and clinton and sanders are separated by less than 2,000 votes each.
3:11 am
yet. even so, cbs news estimates that trump now has more than half the delegates he need for the nomination. here's major garrett. this was an amazing evening. >> reporter: the swing state split decision witled the field to three candidates. >> while we are on the right side this year. we will not be on the winning side. >> reporter: after losing in his home state. marco rubio dropped out. trump is on pace to win. ted cruz and john kasich said they will fight for delegates to the end. >> only two campaigns have a plausible path to the nomination. ours and donald trump's. nobody else has any mathematical possibility whatsoever. >> it is unlikely that anybody is going to achieve enough delegates to avoid the convention. >> the gop front-runner issued this predicts if he doesn't get
3:12 am
convention. >> i don't think you can say that we don't get it automatically. i think you would have riots. i think you would have riots. >> reporter: this morning, former house speaker john boehner floated another idea. draft current speaker, paul ryan. his spokeswoman shot that down quickly saying he will not committee chairman reince preibus told us. >> there isn't going to be a game played where some one goes into the convention with majority of delegates and some how now that person is not the nominee. i don't see that happening. >> reporter: delegates are bound to their candidates for the first ballot. preidus acknowledged the party can rewrite the rules at its discretion. >> i can imagine that the nomination rules would have to be looked at. obviously. second, third ballot type rules. you wouldn't have contemplated in the last convention. >> the now three-man race was headed for a primetime debate monday. trump and kasich pulled out forcing its cancellation. scott, that debate was to occur the night before contests in utah and arizona.
3:13 am
>> major garrett, thank you. you probably remember the tense moment saturday when a man rushed donald trump. well today that man, thomas demassimo was charged with a federal crime, entering a secret service restricted area. now to the democrats, hillary clinton won at least four more states last night. she now has nearly 2/3 of the delegates she need for the nomination. here is nancy cordes. >> thank you, florida! thank you, north carolina! thank you ohio! >> clinton had more thanking to do than her own campaign had expected. she swept four states by as much as 31 points. a feat sanders did not acknowledge at his rally. >> next week, arizona has a very important election.
3:14 am
>> reporter: in a statement the vermont senator insisted he is still on a path to win the nomination. and that the primary calendar favors us in the weeks and months to come. but, that's also what he said before last night's blowout. >> in a memo today, the clinton campaign laid out the odds against sanders. nearly half of the remaining pledge delegates are in just three states. california, new york, and pennsylvania. senator sanders would have to win them by 20 points. and rack up a string of victories just to pull even. in short they argued, clinton's delegate lead is nearly insurmountable. >> we are moving closer to securing the democratic party nomination and winning this election in november! >> the clinton camp knows there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. they say they will not be calling on sanders to drop out but it is his decision.
3:15 am
choice in 2008, clinton stays in all the way to the end. >> nancy cordes, thanks. now with confidence and not a hint of arrogance we'll turn to john dickerson, our cbs news political director and anchor of "face the nation." >> trump lost a big one in ohio last night. how damaging was that? >> well not winning the 66 delegates means trump has to du better in the future. before last night he had won 44% of the delegates now. he need to win 52% of the remaining delegates. up for grabs. but, rules in later contests give winners a greater share of the delegates. that will help him and there was evidence last night, particularly in florida, where he got 48% of the vote, that his results improve as the field shrinks. so he has shown capacity to do better in the future. >> now if republicans wanted to deny trump the nomination is there a way they could do that in the coming contests? >> they have to win enough delegates to deny him the
3:16 am
that means beating him outright in the state's where they are winner take all. he may be weaker, montana, nebraska, south dakota. in the states where he is strong. that distribute delegates proportional. they have to come in close second to shrink the delegate prize. that is going to be hard to do. kasich and cruz, keep splitting the nontrump vote. >> maurko rubio dropped out last night. the face of the new republican party. hispanic, young, what happened. >> he was selling the wrong product. that youth, that outreach expansion to new voters and that optimism. it was a year when voters wanted a champion for their anger. and also, his greatest legislative achievement, pushing a comprehensive immigration reform bill, that's part of what had stirred up that voter anger in the first place. >> john dickerson, we'll be watching you sunday on "face the nation." john, thanks. today north korea sentenced
